leads by example. Molly Lu spe- cializes in the 100 hurdles and shot put and also runs the lead- off leg of the 4x100 meter relay that is very close to breaking the school record. Her effort this spring, and the past two years, will hopefully be highlighted during the upcoming postseason meets; Wilderness League Cham- pionship meet, the NHIAA Divi- sion III meet, and hopefully the NHIAA Meet of Champions. The Newfound Girls track and field team captured the NHIAA Division III Runner-up trophy in 2021 and are hopeful for an even stronger performance this June. Regardless of the outcome from the team this spring, Molly Lu has been an outstanding stu- dent-athlete and has always been a strong representative of the values of Newfound Regional High School.
The Newfound community wishes Molly Lu McKellar the very best in the pursuit of her academic, athletic, and profes- sional goals.
